Welcome to Steps, a podcast celebrating people and their stories. Far too often we don't give people the opportunity to share their journey. Where they've come from, what they've overcame and the amazing things that have happened to them in their lives. That's what we are going to do on Steps. We will have real conversations with real people to understand how they have gotten to this place in time. Confucius said, "The journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step."
